Our mission

To make advanced
intelligence accessible.

Our first project, Apollo, runs published CT models for research: lung cancer risk, segmentation, and quantification.

A model nobody can run cannot be checked.

A published model is meant to be tested, questioned, and built on. That takes code that other researchers can run on their own data. In a review of 218 AI studies published in RSNA journals from 2017 through 2021, 34% shared code, and 11% shared code documented well enough to reproduce the study.1 An automated attempt to rerun 15,817 Jupyter notebooks linked to biomedical papers in PubMed Central reproduced the original results for 879.2

Testing on new data matters too. Of 86 deep learning algorithms for radiologic diagnosis that were evaluated on external data, 70 reported at least some decrease in performance there compared with internal data.3 We think a published model should be straightforward to run.

One app, from import to export.

Import a study or a cohort, check scan quality, choose the analyses, and export the results. Models install from inside the app, with no Python setup or command line.

Apollo runs 18 analyses: tasks from open-source projects including Sybil, lungmask, TotalSegmentator, and PyRadiomics, plus measurements it computes itself. See the full list.

How Apollo works

Two principles.

  • Traceable. Every result records the model, its version, and the slices it was computed from.
  • Credited. Every published model is listed with its license and a link to its source project.

Free to install.

Available for Apple Silicon Macs and 64-bit Windows. Running new analyses needs a license, which we issue individually; results you have already produced stay viewable after a license expires.
